The Catalytic Chemistry Lab studies catalysts, which are essential to processes that transform materials. The lab approaches this from several angles: creating new catalysts, investigating their structures, and developing new reaction systems. Its core is design at the nanoscale and the accompanying structural analysis at the nanoscale. The lab studies high-performance catalysts oriented toward green chemistry, which aims at manufacturing with a small environmental burden.

The Surface Electrochemistry Lab conducts basic research toward solving energy problems and developing clean energy. In fuel cells and water electrolysis, reactions take place on the surface of electrodes. Using single-crystal electrodes whose surface structures are aligned at the atomic level, the lab searches for structures on which reactions proceed quickly. Using microscopes, spectrometers, and large synchrotron radiation facilities, the lab observes electrode surfaces directly as they are in solution.
Yasuhiro Yamada, Associate Professor

The Resource Reaction Engineering Lab researches how to design and build the structures of carbon materials. Carbon materials have complex structures, which makes it difficult to determine accurately what is located where. By assembling them from raw materials with known structures, the lab makes carbon materials with uniformly positioned edges and nitrogen atoms. The resulting materials are intended for applications such as CO2 capture from the air, catalysts, and electrode materials.
Toyokazu Yamada, Associate Professor

The Yamada Lab develops qubit materials while observing atoms and molecules with a scanning tunneling microscope. A scanning tunneling microscope traces a surface with a sharp needle and can distinguish individual atoms. The lab develops this microscope itself and creates quantum magnets in which atomic magnets are bound together by organic molecules. The instruments are kept in ultrahigh vacuum and at extremely low temperatures, and individual atoms and molecules are observed in an environment close to outer space.
Yusuke Okawa, Associate Professor

The Okawa Lab combines electrochemistry with nanoscale materials to create reaction sites with new functions. Electrochemistry is a field that studies how electrons are exchanged between substances in solution and electrodes. Tracing the lab's origins leads back to silver halide photography materials and the materials science related to them. The lab treats applying the materials and methods used in photographic chemistry to the assembly of modern nanomaterials as an important research subject.
Peter Krüger, Professor
0 student voices
Krüger-Iwahara Lab studies the electronic states of materials through theory and computation. The lab consists of two groups: the Krüger Group and the Iwahara Group. Its targets are the electronic structure and magnetism of surfaces, interfaces, and new nanoscale materials. It uses first-principles calculations to obtain ground-state properties, and calculates X-ray absorption and photoelectron spectra. The lab also develops its own new methods for calculating spectra, based on multiplet and multiple scattering theory.
Nobuyuki Aoki, Professor
0 student voices
The Aoki Lab studies quantum devices made by semiconductor microfabrication, as well as quantum transport phenomena in graphene. Graphene is graphite reduced to a single atomic layer, and electrons move through it with great ease. The lab also works on other low-dimensional materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides. It also develops new nanoscale microfabrication and measurement techniques using scanning probe microscopy.
Hisao Ishii, Professor
0 student voices
The Ishii-Fukagawa Lab studies the electronic structure that underlies organic electronics. Using electron spectroscopy, the lab clarifies which levels electrons occupy, and how, inside the molecules used in devices such as organic EL displays. It also examines the electrical characteristics of the devices themselves, linking both spectroscopy and device research to improved performance. The lab develops its own measurement methods and instruments, found nowhere else in the world, and carries out its research with them.
Satoru Tsukada, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Tsukada Lab is a lab where students make molecules with their own hands, with an eye on everything from the design and synthesis of a single molecule to its applications. Its research covers organic chemistry, coordination chemistry, polymer chemistry, and organic-inorganic hybrid materials. The lab builds functional materials that lead to unprecedented information imaging technologies, as well as devices that store energy. Through this, it aims to strengthen students' desire to know and their motivation.
Tatsuo Shiina, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Shiina Lab studies measurement technologies that use light, under the theme of the interaction between light and matter. Its work rests on three pillars: sensing the atmosphere and gases with light, sensing living organisms and materials with light, and how light propagates inside highly scattering materials. Measurement targets include the sky, clouds, the ocean, minerals, plants, insects, cells, and living organisms. The lab's work centers on building actual instruments, and also includes PC control, numerical analysis, and simulation.
